As a kid, it seemed so glamorous and exciting to me to see artists selling their beautiful creations at art shows. The reality is so much time, effort and money invested with the possibility of not making enough sales to cover costs! Yikes. Glad you so did well with your show. Thank you for sharing your experience and some really great tips. Wishing you continued success in future exhibitions.

I couldn't agree more with you! Even just before really honing in on my practice and deciding to go the business route, I had no perspective of how they costed artists' resources. I didn't understand why people weren't doing them more often. Thank you 😊

What a great, informative and generous video! I haven't done any events like this yet, but your suggestions were such good ones and made me feel like I would be more prepared if I decide to go for an art fair in the future. I don't know if art fairs offer this, but I have learned from some of the competition shows I've been in, that being aware of what sort of insurance is involved can be important. I do collage as well as mixed media so most of my pieces are pretty economical as for the products used, but we all care about our art, right? So, I've learned that it is good to be aware if there is any insurance coverage just in case something bad does happen. Thank you, once again, for sharing what you have learned!

I'm so glad to hear, that was exactly my intent for this video 😍 Insurance is definitely a part of it. Most shows offer packages for this, but it's a "mandatory" extra cost on top of the show. I don't use a specific company for it because of this. I'm hoping to build out a video course and dive really deep into all the extra costs that come up, and a lot more tips. I quickly realized when filming I could have made this video HOURS long. I'm so glad it encouraged you in the right direction 😊 we need more collage out there representing ❤️ I won't rest til I see collage in every art fair 😜

Where do you store your back up paintings? The paintings you’ll bring out when you sell work.

What a great reference. I'm not very techo savvy but I'll try to figure out how to save this. One question: don't you have any copyright problems using magazine clippings, or is that not a problem when you are making collages. I hope that didn't sound snarky. I don't mean it that way.

Thank you Cindy, I saw your comment on the other video that you saw the copyright video :) You can save a video by adding it to a playlist right under the video, there should be a button there.

The only people who gain from fairs are the organisers. They never lose out. They compliment your work, praise you up and willingly take your money, only to let the artist down with no sales.
@flanzella6 ай бұрын
Yes, they're the only ones who 100% don't lose. But I have watched some artists sell six figures of artworks at these fairs. I do see certain value in doing them in the first 5 years of an artist's career though.

lol i think it scares away people if the have to talk to someone else (hence no sales 😝)

Agreed! It adds an obstacle.

17:10 - wait, what were the questions??
@flanzella6 ай бұрын
This changes sometimes but usually I like to cover all the pieces and their meaning. Then the generic ones are what the medium is, the process of creating the art, where you find inspiration, where I find my papers, do I have a studio, how often do I make work, what are the themes, are they original papers, how do I protect original papers, artists of inspiration... (Those are just off the top of my head but I do have a list I write out!)
